Despite the importance of protective factors in reducing suicidal ideation (SI) and suicide attempts (SA), research this area remains limited. This study investigated associations between early adolescence subsequent outcomes SI SA year later, while also examining sex differences these associations. utilized data from representative sample at two timepoints, T1 (N = 2464, 50.8% females, mean age 13.7, SD 0.6) 1998 T2 2432, 50.4% 14.9, one collected as part longitudinal Youth Mental Health Study (YAMHS) Norway. Individual, social environmental were identified based on prior theoretical frameworks. We used linear (or ordinal logistic) regression analyses SA) dependent variable, factor, their interaction covariates. Positive self-perceptions (T1) significantly associated reduced later (T2) for both sexes. Specifically, self-worth was more strongly females (B -0.16, 95% CI: -0.20 -0.12, p <.001) than males -0.08, -0.12 -0.04, <.001). The competence influenced likelihood SA, (OR 0.24, 0.13 0.42, showing greater reduction 0.53, 0.35 0.80, =.009), although association only showed trend towards significance (p =.083).
